Back from the Alte Pinakothek München. I can’t say I found quite as many medieval cats as I would have liked, but there were a few gems, which I’ll post here. (Thread) https://twitter.com/lisalibros/status/1199808655589347329

There was this cat that is either possessed or pissed off that its paws are as big as its face.

I think these are supposed to be lions? And apparently they used to have really intense eyebrows?

Monkey who is apparently in paradise but clearly bored of it all.

Is this what dogs used to look like? A bit like a fish face?

While I am generally against most breeding practices, if it made dogs stop looking like this then maybe it was necessary...

Medieval painting, or a still from the upcoming #CatsMovie ? Can’t decide.

They clearly just had some men in animal masks pose for this nativity painting.

Sadly, all the painters in this museum had mastered horses. Rembrandt in particular could paint animals. So instead, I imagine this is Rembrandt’s painting of how he predicted 2020 politicians would look, specifically the women’s rights council.
